Preventive maintenance: prolongs the life of your Lattuada!

Ensuring proper preventive maintenance of glass and stone processing machines is essential to maximize operational efficiency, extend tool life and maintain high performance over time.
Our long experience in the field and the innovative approach we put into the field in the design and manufacture of precision machinery for grinding glass and stone allows us to offer not only the highest quality tools, but also complete support for proper maintenance of the different components.

How important is preventive maintenance?

Proper preventive maintenance not only ensures that the machines work optimally, but offers a number of tangible benefits for glassworks and companies that operate with these tools on a daily basis.
Specifically, a maintenance program allows to:

– maintain the efficiency and functionality of the machine over time.
Regular maintenance prevents premature deterioration of critical parts of the machine, prolonging the life of the machine even at high work rates and avoiding machine downtime (resulting in production downtime). In addition, you will delay the need to replace the pieces.

– maximise efficiency and production quality.
A machine for the processing of glass and stone that is optimally maintained always works at its best, ensuring a continuous production of the highest quality with positive repercussions on the speed of response to customer needs. Respecting the maintenance program you will have more satisfied customers!

– reduce maintenance costs.
Compared to the repair and/or replacement of the parts that make up the machinery, preventive maintenance is cheaper and faster; this allows you to avoid costly downtime and unwanted slowdowns.

– greater safety at work.
Glass and stone processing machines that are kept in good condition are more controlled and therefore safer for operators; In this way, you can reduce the risk of workplace accidents and ensure the most protected environment for your employees.

The maintenance with Adelio Lattuada

At Lattuada, we are committed daily to simplifying and optimizing the preventive maintenance process for our customers. One of our strengths has always been to create machinery that needed a maintenance as limited as possible and simple to perform, so we show our glassworks a few, fast and economic activities to perform that are essential to prolong the service life of the machine, avoid long and expensive downtime and maintain top quality machining.

When you purchase each Lattuada machine you are issued a short guide, which we like to define “Happy Customer”inside which you will find detailed instructions for maintenance that can be a valuable help for operators. Specifically there are:

– A chart for the flat edge and miters processing, working limits and constraints; this is key information for processing glass or stone plates, including optimal operating parameters and limits to be met

– Wheels adjustment instructions; tips on how to properly adjust the machine settings to achieve a high-quality result

– List of the tools mounted on the machine; so that the operator is aware of what is present in the tool with which he works daily and - consequently - knows how to deal with it and keep its performance high

– Maintenance check-list: a detailed list of maintenance tasks to be performed with the relevant frequencies. These include activities to be carried out every day (such as checking the water in the tanks), activities to be carried out once a week (such as adjusting the diamond wheels), activities to be carried out once a month (such as greasing the spindles) and - finally - activities to be carried out once every 6 months (such as transmission belts tightening and wear).

As we have seen so far, proper preventive maintenance of glass and stone processing machines is essential to ensure maximum productivity and durability. By following the recommended maintenance programs and using the resources provided directly by us, glassworks can enjoy highly efficient and reliable machinery, supported by a family known for their dedication and dedication to the glass industry.

The care and attention to the machines not only prolongs their useful life, but also keeps customers satisfied, ensuring high quality glass and stone processing!
